Nördlingen, another town on the romantic road, was our lunch stop for today. Approaching the town we saw a prominent tower on the horizon that turned out to be the church. We climbed the 90 meters for impressive views of the old town and the old city walls, circling the city perfectly. Nördlingen was actually built in the centre of a crater, formed by a meteorite that struck 15 million years ago!
Arriving in Augsburg I was dubious about our need to be here in this big city and wanted to continue to the southern most stop on the romantic road. Having no accommodation and being lead astray by the tourist office (sending us to a place that took us 30 minutes to find, which ended up being booked out) didn't help my enthusiasm. Ben convinced me otherwise and once walking around the cobbled stone streets and running through a torrential down poor to the other side of town for dinner, I was actually glad we stopped.
